United States Air Force Diversity Strategic Roadmap: A Journey to Excellence
Abstract
Diversity is a military necessity. Air Force decision-making and operational capabilities are enhanced by diversity among its Airmen, uniformed and civilian, helping make the Air Force more agile, innovative and effective. It opens the door to creative solutions to complex problems and provides our Air Force a competitive edge in air, space and cyberspace. Diversity includes and involves all of us. It is one of the strengths of the United States of America and gives the United States Air Force a decisive advantage as we engage globally. The Air Force broadly defines diversity as a composite of individual characteristics, experiences and abilities consistent with the Air Force Core Values and the Air Force Mission. Air Force diversity includes but is not limited to: personal life experiences, geographic background, socioeconomic background, cultural knowledge, educational background, work background, language abilities, physical abilities, philosophical and spiritual perspectives, age, race, ethnicity and gender. This concept of diversity is to be tailored as specific circumstances and the law require. Diversity encompasses demographic, cognitive/behavioral, organizational/structural and global diversity.
